After Effects (Beta)

Hi, Request:Ability to import GLB files into Adobe After Effects that will include the animation of models/character data that is saved in the file.It's no doubt on the roadmap.I just wanted to request it here and also see if there is any hint for when it's coming.

version 24.2.0 (build 71)MacbookPro M2 MaxmacOS Sonoma I have applied masks and rotoscopes to my layers and pre composed them.On this occasion, when opening the project the enitre video is upside down. I've tried opening other projects and they are all opening upside down.Additionally the rotocoped layers seem to be the right way up but now acting as a mask. Please help. Everything was fine last night.  

Is it possible to export to a JSON file that contains an animation with a GLB file?I import a GLB file, create an animation, and want to export it in JSON format. I installed Extensions LottieFiles and Bodymovin, but when exporting to JSON, it shows only an empty file. Is it possible that I'm doing something wrong, or is it just that the JSON format doesn't support 3D objects?

I use a german keyboard with an english AE Version and therefor have several custom shortcuts. if i use cmd+M to send a com to the render queue it minimizes AE and only if i open the keyboard-shortcuts panel quickly, without doing anything cmd+M works. This is also reflected in the menu where the shortcuts are shown next to the menu entry

ya ni siquiera da para escribir el problema aquí (si es que alguien de adobe remotamente se preocupa por leer esto),  10 años con el mismo chiste, dejen de sacar herramientas nuevas "shuper loquillas" para un programa que ni siquiera es capaz de levantar su propia UI de forma satisfactoria. tengo la flamante ultima version de AE en mac, intento abrir un archivo que tiene solo un texto animado y un video, y la ram (32GB) se llena, ademas de genrerar casi 40GB de caché¿en serio es tan dificil hacer caso a la gente del foro que les ha pedido desde el 2014 que solucionen el bug?.. no les pedimos sacar herramientas nuevas, no pedimos meterle IA a todo lo que se les ocurra, es simplemente hacer que el programa haga lo que debe hacer, asi de simple, lo pregunto desde la ignorancia y un poco desde la rabia y la frustración que genera el "chiste" anual de after effects, la verdad es que ni ganas dan de seguir pagando por algo que no funciona, de hecho, si alguien conoce alguna alterna

I have a project with a few comps containing point lights in the old 3D engine and I have tried turning on the advanced 3D engine instead, and it almost looks like the lights just get deleted... but on further investigation it's actually that they're just super, super low intensity. To get them back to roughly equal to the classic engine lights I have to turn the intensity up like 10x. Is this an intentional property of lights in the new engine or is there a bug in their brightness?

Is there a full list of features being tested in the latest After Effects beta? Ditto goes for other apps, is there such a list? (PP, PS, AE)

what should i do..there are not showing the 3d model when i import 3d model GLB file.....

When will 3D Mercury be released in the normal After Effects 2024 version?

Footage works fine in AE otherwise. Happens with MP4 and MOV ProRes 422.When I load the footage into the layer panel and select the Roto Brush tool, it goes blackWith an NVIDIA RTX 4000 Ada Generation Laptop GPU Issue does not occur in "shipping" version of AE. 

Hello kindly help me out on this please.I've tried to do this with multiple tutorials but non of them are not working.Most tried method:  QUICK TIME> RGB&ALPHA> ANIMAITON> RENDER (not working) it's text animation. as you can see on pictures video is still with bacground 😞 

Composition keeps going black in most recent update to AE Beta (24.2.0 build 38). I quit and re-opened, purged cache and memory several times, no luck. Tried different workspaces, no change.HOWEVER, exact same project looks fine in AE 2024 (non-beta). So the problem is not the project. Running latest version of Mac OS 14.1.2.Thanks!

In Beta, wave warp now no longer smooths lines at higher antialiasing.

I know, I shouldn't use the Beta for real work, but I do ... until sth breaks. &#x1f605(Well, I had to re-render a couple of clips as my modular graphics got reset to default.)Found a super crazy bug, but at least happy, that I found the cause.So, try this:First, the working scenario:I have the source text hooked up via Essential Graphics. Just having them as single entries within the Essential Graphics Panel. I put that comp in another comp and change the text / values and create keys to be super save. Now I save the comp and reopen it: All good.Now, time to break it:I create a Group via Formatting in the Essential Graphics Panel and put the previously created text entries in the group. Now I save the file and open it in the Beta: The keyfames are gone, my text Essential Properties are reset to default.I attach two aep projects:Disappearing Keys Check - fine without group in EG.aepDisappearing Keys Check - breaks with group in EG.aep When you open the files in AE 2024, everything

AE Beta 24.2.0 x26:When using a Shape Layer with a Gradient Fill and setting the Opacity Stop to 0, lines will show up in the gradient. I am not talking about banding, please have a look. Didn't see this behaviour before and it works fine in AE 2024.Thanks (pictures inline and attached as well, plus AE project) 

Sequences imported from Premiere Pro do not appear in composition.

Hello, I am having issues with the import of 3D objects in After Effects beta. 3D objects will not preview but will show only the shape path. How can I solve this issue?

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions, along with Known Issues in the current build. We will be keeping this page updated. Last updated: Oct 18, 2022   Model Import Formats GLB, GLTF, and OBJ are currently supported. Other formats are possible in the future, please let us know what you need! Animated models Currently all models are static inside After Effects. Built-in animation will be supported in the future. Camera and Lights Cameras and lights in a 3D model are not currently imported. After Effects cameras and lights work with models in the composition. Empty 3D Cache There are a couple of cases where 3D model data must be extracted before After Effects can use the files: GLB files must be unpacked and OBJ files are converted to GLB. The new 3D Cache folder is stored in the same location as the default for the disk cache; this is currently not a user-definable location. Clicking the new Empty 3D Cache button in Preferences > 3D that deletes all files from this folder except

The 3d obj file did't working properly in After Effects (beta). Then After some time importing the obj 3d file the software was close suddenly could't show any warning information.

Hi: We have been working diligently to add significant new capability to the TextDocument and, although we have not exposed any of the new APIs to you yet, in preparation for this we have changed a significant bit of the underlying architecture which TextDocument is built upon. These changes went into ae-beta/24.2.0/8. Quite a lot of automated testing has been written to demonstrate that the existing TextDocument APIs behave exactly as before (and I mean exactly...), but errors may have slipped past us. Consider this a heads up that we might have broken something and to please let us know if you encounter any regression when using the TextDocument - we really need to know. Thanks in advance for your engagement, and we look forward to exposing these new APIs as soon as we can - we are confident they will be well received. Douglas WaterfallAfter Effects Engineering
